I have loved reading ever since I was a kid. I got away from it when I was in college and have since picked it back up with a passion. In today's episode, we have a double feature with the stories “Read, and You Will Know,” and “How a Prince Learned to Read.” Both of these stories come to us from the book Fifty Famous People, written by James Baldwin. If you, or someone you know, need help with reading skills, check out your local library. They should have resources available to help with reading or be able to point you in the right direction for people who can help.

It has always appealed to me, the thought of being a spy. I guess it is too many James Bond movies or other special agent movies. I always think “wouldn't that be fun?” Well, today, we see what happens when young Ralph gets involved in a railroad union strike and the boss wants to try to get to whoever started it. The story title is “Under Sealed Orders” and comes to us from the book Ralph on the Engine, written by Allen Chapman.

I don't really know how many times I have been on a train. About 3 or 4 times I guess if you only count the trains that run on the ground. If you count the elevated trains, trams at the airports, subways, and the likes of those, I have been on tons of trains. I am glad to report, that I have never been in a train crash in all those rides. In today's story, we see that Buster the Big Brown Bear gets in a train wreck with the story “Buster in a Railroad Wreck” from the book Buster the Big Brown Bear written by George Ethelbert Walsh.

Henry Ford invents the automobile! I used to think that. However, as I have grown older and studied more history, I see that I was wrong in that thinking. Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile, he was responsible for inventing the mass production of the automobile. So today, we read the story “Automobiles for the Masses” from the book Henry Ford's Own Story, written by Rose Wilder Lane. Included in the shownotes is a link to the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, the site of the birthplace of the Model T.

When pointing a telescope at the planet Jupiter, you will more than likely see four small dots. These dots are the four largest moons of Jupiter. One of these moons is called Io. Now I'm going to assume that the name has mythological origins and that the story came before the name but today, we read “The Story of Io” from the book Old Greek Stories written by James Baldwin.

Everybody messes up. Even people who set out to do great things. That's what we see in today's story as we read “The Death of the Sun-Hero” from the book The Yellow Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang.

If you hear the cry of the banshee, that means you are going to die. I remember hearing that when I was growing up. Well, according to Irish legend, this is true. So today, we read the story “The Banshee” from the book Irish Wonders written by D.R. McAnally Jr. I like reading about the origins of legends. I always like to see the back story on where they come from and how they originated. I've always liked the saying “If you don't know where you have been, how will you know where you are going?” I feel like it's kind of the same way when reading about origination stories.

Do you carve Jack O'Lanterns for Halloween? We do. It's always fun to cut them open, scoop out the insides, roast the seeds, and carve them up. It's also a great way to spend time together as a family. Well, today, we read the story “Ole Man Pumpkin” from the book Half-Past Seven Stories written by Robert Gordon Anderson. This story brings us back into the Halloween spirit because I can't think of anything else that represents Halloween better than a Jack O'Lantern.

Today, we learn about chickadees with the story “Farewells and Welcomes” from the book The Burgess Bird Book for Children written by our old friend, Thornton W. Burgess. A few days ago, we put an addition onto our front porch, a bird feeder. Since putting this bird feeder in, there have been tons of chickadees eating in and around the feeder and it provides us with some bird watching fun. Also, in case you're interested, the fourth volume of stories has been released and is available on Amazon. Just search for “Sundays at Franklin's” and you should find links to purchase either the ebook or paperback version, whichever you prefer.

Here we are at the start of October, the witching month. I like ghost stories. I like to be scared. One of my favorite things to do is scare my family at home. Like hiding in the dark office when I know my wife or son are going to walk by and then jump out at them. It's awesome! Well, today, we kick off the month of October with two poems. One titled “Hallowe'en” and the other “Haunted Houses.” The former is written by A.F. Murray and the latter is written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
